Job Description Job Description Amphenol Communications
Solutions (ACS) – Storage & Server I/O (SSIO) group – is seeking a
Signal Integrity Engineer who's passionate about high-speed design,
simulation, and measurement. In this role, you'll be at the
forefront of next-generation interconnect technology, helping
define, model, and validate electrical performance for high-speed
connectors and cable assemblies used in today's most advanced data
center, storage, and server systems. You'll collaborate across
engineering, R&D, product development, marketing, and customer
teams worldwide to drive innovation and ensure SSIO products meet
the highest standards of signal integrity, quality, and
performance. Key Responsibilities Technical Leadership &
Development Research and develop new high-speed interconnect
technologies within the SSIO product family by staying on top of
emerging trends, patents, and competitive solutions. Predict and
define performance limits for new connector technologies and
influence next-generation data center and server I/O standards. Use
tools such as CST Studio Suite, ANSYS HFSS, and other 2D/3D solvers
to model high-speed connectors and cable structures for SSIO
applications. Design and analyze high-speed PCB test fixtures and
interconnect systems aligned with standards like PCIe®, SFF, and
SAS/SATA. Simulation, Testing & Validation Execute full SI analysis
from modeling to lab validation using VNAs, TDRs, oscilloscopes,
and bit-error-rate testers (BERTs). Perform link-level simulations
to support SSIO product design and interpret results to guide
electrical and mechanical improvements. Document findings and
recommendations in clear, professional technical reports and
presentations. Cross-Functional Collaboration Work side-by-side
with design and product engineers to refine SSIO concepts for both
mechanical and electrical optimization. Provide technical guidance
to global teams and customers on performance, testing, and
modeling. Support sales and marketing with technical collateral,
data models, and presentations for SSIO product launches. Customer
& Industry Engagement Deliver accurate S-parameter models and
encrypted simulation data to key servers and storage OEM customers.
Conduct SI analysis in response to customer requests and
troubleshooting needs for SSIO solutions. Represent Amphenol in
industry standards committees (e.g., PCI-SIG) to influence and
align with next-generation storage and server I/O specifications.
Requirements / Qualifications Education: Bachelor's degree in
electrical engineering, Physics, or related field with 5 years of
current industry experience; or Master's degree in electrical
engineering, Physics, or related field with 2 years of current
industry experience. Technical Skills: Expertise in signal
integrity simulation and analysis (CST, HFSS, ADS, or equivalent).
Experience with high-speed serial standards (PCIe, SAS/SATA, SFF,
etc.). Strong understanding of transmission line theory,
differential signaling, and electromagnetic behavior. Hands-on
experience with lab test equipment (VNA, TDR, BERT). Familiarity
with storage, server, and interconnect system design is highly
preferred. Soft Skills: Strong communication and presentation
skills — able to translate complex data into clear conclusions.
Collaborative mindset with a passion for innovation and
problem-solving. Comfortable working in a fast-paced, global
engineering environment that embodies Amphenol's entrepreneurial
culture.
